The strain is a cross between an unknown Afghani variant and DJ Short Blueberry, creating a potent indica-dominant hybrid known for its delicious flavors and strong effects.

THC levels in Shishkaberry may reach up to 26 percent, but the average is more tolerable at 18. Your olfactory will be greeted with a sweet and fruity berry scent that translates directly into its flavor. Then, calm and euphoria will kick in, making it ideal for unwinding after a long day. Additionally, the herb is useful in relieving pain, anxiety, and stress. The initial buzz of this strain is also perfect for social situations, but it will eventually fade into a sedative high, so enjoy the bud for a weed session at home with friends, but don’t hit the town after smoking it.

A bit of a mysterious cannabis strain, Shishkaberry comes from unknown breeders. Not to worry, though, as its feminized seeds are widely accessible online, producing female plants that are straightforward to cultivate and suitable for newer growers.

When properly dried and cured, Shishkaberry’s buds share the predominant sweet aroma of blueberry and grape. Meanwhile, grinding up the solid flowers adds Afghani’s dank earth notes with the prevalent berry quality of DJ Short Blueberry. When combusted, the strain produces a light, smooth smoke that is appealing to many consumers. The smoke has a sweet fruitiness on exhale with notable intense blueberry and grape flavors. The strain’s purple coloring is often associated with its taste, but they are not related as the plant’s hue results from pigments, while terpenes dictate aroma and flavor profile.

Shishkaberry produces a palpable headrush almost immediately after consumption. It’s not uncommon to feel various odd sensations like an accelerated pulse on the temples and around the eyes. Some may also experience flushing in the cheeks. As smokers grow familiar with these physical tics, they will notice their thoughts moving quicker than usual. Ideas might leap from one to the next in a rapid, free association-like manner, tapping into one or more previously unrealized relationships between ideas or concepts. Similarly, the strain can make one’s thoughts feel more intense or significant. The cerebral vibe may seep into chatter for individuals who smoke this bud in social situations.

A stunningly relaxing body high takes hold once smokers have adjusted to the new mindset. Waves of calm radiate out from the neck and permeate the core, urging users to unwind in their most comfy seats and forget about productivity for quite a while. Couch lock is possible with Shishkaberry, as can deep, sound sleep. The strain is a fantastic way to unwind after a long day or week of work. It’s also best consumed at night or before bedtime due to its sedating qualities.

Shishkaberry may also be used in various ways by medical cannabis patients. It can provide a soothing effect on the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. The strain can also help alleviate physical pain, whether it’s due to chronic illnesses like lupus or arthritis, or an injury. In addition, this bud’s sedative properties may also help people who have insomnia drift off to sleep, making it an appealing alternative for entrenched cases of sleeplessness.

Shishkaberry is not especially cerebral and won’t normally stoke paranoid thinking in modest doses. However, still exercise caution if you are a new user, prone to panic or having anxious thoughts, or sensitive to high THC.

Moreover, cottonmouth and dry eyes are common side effects of Shishkaberry. Both can be unpleasant and can make using the strain uncomfortable. Fortunately, both usually go away on their own after a few hours. If you experience either of these side effects, drink plenty of fluids and try using artificial tears or moisturizing eye drops to help relieve the dryness. You can also try using a humidifier to help keep your mouth and eyes moist.

Grow Info

Although Shishkaberry is an Indica-leaning strain, her height is certainly from its 20% Sativa genetics. The strain grows tall, requiring a lot of vertical space to reach her full size. Nevertheless, indoor cultivation is still a good option as there are ways to manage her growth.

Except for the height, Shishkaberry’s structure is more Indica. The buds are popcorn-shaped and dense, with an olive-green hue, dark orange pistils, and a gleaming sheen of sticky trichomes. When the plant is exposed to cooler temperatures towards the last few weeks of the flowering period, she takes on a dark purple color.

While Shishkaberry can grow both indoors and outdoors, the strain’s bud production is at its best in a climate-controlled environment with a hydroponic system. You may also use soil as a growing medium for more fragrant and flavorful nugs.

Shishkaberry flowers for 8 to 9 weeks when cultivated indoors, an average duration among Indica-dominant hybrids. The Sea of Green (SOG) technique can reduce her tendency to reach an astonishing height. This method forces the plants to start flowering after a vegetative phase as short as 45 days, limiting their time to stretch vigorously. On the other hand, growers can prevent her lush foliage from accumulating excess moisture, something this strain is prone to doing, by regularly trimming the leaves to promote air circulation. Also have oscillating fans installed around the grow room to prevent stagnant, moisture-heavy air. Finally, set the temperature around 21 to 26°C (70 to 80°F) and the RH level between 40 to 50%. This setup can produce about 350 to 450 grams of fresh buds per square meter.

Shishkaberry can grow between 180 to 210 cm high. If you (and your neighbors) don’t mind her tall stature, you’ll be glad to know that she’s straightforward to grow outside. To flourish, she needs direct access to sunlight, as well as warm and dry conditions. In a favorable outdoor environment, you can harvest up to 550 grams of sticky weed flowers by late September to early October.

Tips for Growing Shishkaberry

When growing Shishkaberry indoors, managing her size is crucial as she might outgrow the cultivation area. The operation also becomes less discreet and dramatic stem growth may lower the final harvest between 20-30%. But aren’t bigger plants better? Not always, because cannabis plant stretching can also be due to adverse environmental conditions.

Here’s how to properly manage your Shishkaberry’s height:

Monitor temperature. Set the thermostat to a temperature that is comfortable for your Shishkaberry. Use a timer to ensure the day temperature does not exceed the night temperature.

Maintain optimal air circulation. Fans mimic the wind that is found in an outdoor setting. Plants respond to this external stress by developing thicker and sturdier stem, potentially limiting upward growth.

Keep the lights at a sensible distance. Do not install lights too close to your Shishkaberry, as this may result in leaf burning. That said, if you position your lights too far away, your plants will seek the light and grow upward as a response. In this situation, it’s more advisable to keep lights closer and check for any signs of potential burning regularly.

Top during the vegetative stage. Cannabis plants stretch upward significantly during the vegetative period and may double or even triple in size during the flowering stage. To avoid an overgrown Shishkaberry, cut her down to approximately half of the intended final height, then begin the flowering as soon as possible. When performing this approach, ensure that there are sufficient leaves left on the plant so she may live and thrive while fruiting.

Perform low-stress training. Low-stress training or bending your Shishkaberry reduces her height and allows all parts of the plant, even the lower branches, to receive equal amounts of light. This technique uses strings and cages to create a flat canopy by pulling down branches and the top of a plant. To prevent breakage, it’s preferable to perform this operation during the vegetative phase when the plants are still flexible.

Perform Fimming. Topping and fimming are quite similar, but the latter requires going halfway down the shoot and cutting from all the way there. If this high-stress training technique is performed correctly, it keeps the plant small and even produces four or more top colas.
